# Chapter 704: Shout Out My Name!
Although El Shaddoll Midrash was powerful enough to repeatedly jump between Limited, Semi-Limited, and Unlimited status, in the end, it was still just a monster with 2200 ATK and no battle destruction immunity, and was destroyed by Ultimate Insect LV5's attack.
[Hayato: 4000→3900 LP]
"Just like other Shaddoll monsters, El Shaddoll Midrash also has an effect it can use when it is sent to the Graveyard. However, since there are no cards in my Graveyard that meet its activation condition, I cannot activate Mi's effect."
Watching Hayato send El Shaddoll Midrash to the Graveyard, the Gravekeeper's Elder said proudly, "What's this? My attack was quite accurate, wasn't it?"
"Without that monster, my Special Summon restriction is also dispelled, right? In that case, I will end the Battle Phase, and then in Main Phase 2, I will banish two Insect-Type monsters from my Graveyard."
As he spoke, the Gravekeeper's Elder saw the two Monster Cards smoothly ejected from his Duel Disk and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He played the card in his Hand. "From my Hand, I Special Summon this monster! Come forth, Doom Dozer!"
Without El Shaddoll Midrash's restraint, the Gravekeeper's Elder successfully performed a second Special Summon this time. A giant, centipede-like insect broke through the Ground and appeared on his Field, guarding the Gravekeeper's Elder on both sides along with Ultimate Insect LV5.
[Doom Dozer] [Level 8/EARTH]
[Insect-Type/Special Summon/Effect]
[2800/2600]
However, because it was Special Summoned during Main Phase 2, the Doom Dozer appearing now did not have the ability to attack.
"My turn ends, and now it's your turn, Kid." The Gravekeeper's Elder revealed an annoying smile. "Although it was only 100 points of damage, I'm sure it was enough to make you feel heart-wrenching pain, wasn't it?"
[Elder: 1800 LP, Hand 0]
[Ultimate Insect LV5] [ATK 2300]
[Doom Dozer] [ATK 2800]
Hearing this, Hayato glanced at his trouser leg. Hayato had already discovered at the beginning of the Duel that although he seemed like just a wicked old man, the Elder of the Tomb Keepers opposite him actually had the ability to initiate a Dark Game. However, he was quite cunning, waiting until he had already taken damage and was about to counterattack before activating the Dark Game.
With this operation, he avoided the 2200 points of true damage from El Shaddoll Midrash's direct attack earlier, but the 100 points of damage Hayato had just taken was boosted by the Dark Game and became true damage. Hayato's trouser leg on his calf was torn by the storm kicked up by Ultimate Insect LV5's attack just now, revealing reddened skin.
"Heh, it doesn't hurt or itch. Is the 'heart-wrenching pain' you spoke of just this kind of attack that doesn't even count as a massage?" Having experienced so many Dark Games up to this point, a mere 100 points of damage wasn't enough for Hayato to even care about. He said indifferently, "It's just a pity about my twenty-thousand-dollar pants."
"Tsk, why are Kids nowadays so rich?" The Gravekeeper's Elder said resentfully. After looking at the monsters on his Field, he recovered his confidence. "Well, it's clearly my victory now. In my Standby Phase next turn, Ultimate Insect will evolve from LV5 to LV7. While its power is enhanced, it will also regain the ability to scatter scales and decrease the opponent's monster's power."
"Coupled with Doom Dozer's existence, no matter what kind of monster you Summon, you're only fated to be broken through and annihilated by me!"
Looking at the two cards in Hayato's Hand, the Gravekeeper's Elder said contemptuously, "With just the two revealed cards in your Hand, and you can only Draw a Card once, can you really defeat me instantly in one turn? Duels don't have that kind of luck."
As he finished speaking, the Gravekeeper's Elder but saw Hayato actually started laughing.
"Hmph hmph, hehe, hahahahaha!"
"Luck? While I don't deny that some people do have luck so outrageous it seems like cheating ( Joey Wheeler : Why are you looking at me?), only a third-rate Duelist would rely on luck for drawing cards."
"My turn!" His finger rested on his Deck. An updraft suddenly blew under Hayato's feet, where there was nothing around him, causing his hanging bangs to stand up. "A True Duelist can Draw whatever card they want! Draw a Card!"
"Then, activate this card," He drew the card, and without even looking at the card he drew, he slapped it directly onto his Duel Disk, as if he already knew what card he would draw. "Spell Card, Graceful Charity! Draw three cards from my Deck, then discard two cards from my Hand."
Watching Hayato's operation of freely using the drawn cards without even looking at them, the Gravekeeper's Elder was somewhat stunned. The scene before him was completely beyond his expectation. Unable to understand the reason, he pointed at Hayato and shouted, "You! You're definitely cheating! How could it be possible for someone to guess what they drew without looking at the cards!"
"Heh, you say I knew what I drew beforehand? Weren't you the same? And don't measure me with your shallow understanding, you idiot." Hayato drew three cards from his Deck, then sent two of them to the Graveyard. He said proudly, "Nothing is impossible on this World! Everything is in my hands!"
"The cards I sent to the Graveyard are the Monster Card Shaddoll Lizard and the Trap Card El Shaddoll Fusion. Here, I activate Shaddoll Lizard's effect: If this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, send one Shaddoll card other than Shaddoll Lizard from the Deck to the Graveyard. I choose Shaddoll Core."
"And if Shaddoll Core is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, I can target one Shaddoll Spell/Trap Card other than Shaddoll Core in my Graveyard and add it to my Hand. I recycle El Shaddoll Fusion."
After one Graceful Charity, Hayato's Hand increased to four cards. He drew one of the cards, clamped it between his fingers, and held it above his head, saying, "Now, I have grabbed the Future in my Hand."
"At this moment, I have five Spellcaster-Type monsters in my Graveyard! I must immediately perform a noble Fusion Summon!"
"Activate Spell Card Polymerization! This card allows me to fusion summon a monster using monsters from my hand or field as material!"
Behind Hayato, several phantoms rose up.
Aleister the Invoker,
Shaddoll Falcon,
Shaddoll Hedgehog,
El Shaddoll Midrash,
Shaddoll Lizard
A total of five Spellcaster-Type monsters slumbering in the Graveyard released their power. Behind Hayato, they transformed into five magic spheres of different colors. A profound domain rose under his feet, surrounding the energy balls in the air and merging into them, unfolding a five-layered magic circle.
At the center of the converging power, a figure slowly manifested.
"Lend me your power, Mi, Aleister!" After cramming the cards into the Duel Disk's Spell & Trap Zone, Hayato held the five banished Monster Cards in his Hand, his left hand clenched into a fist.
"Yosh! Let's go, Master!" Aleister nodded, and El Shaddoll Midrash also nodded, softly said, "Mm."
The phantom behind Hayato then opened its arms in a motion like an embrace. The energy balls merged into it, and the figure said, "Shout out my Name!"
"Osu!" Hearing this, Hayato suddenly raised the Duel Disk on his left wrist, which was like a weapon, and raised his left hand, clenched into a fist, above his head. "Fusion Summon! Quintet Magician!"
